Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

My Husband and I have been going to Dominion patient Care for about 3 years. And in that time we have never met Doctor Tekle. The nurses are very polite and have a good bedside manner. But the nurse Practitioner D. Clark doesn't have a good bedside manner. I know what my medical problems and I don't feel my medical problems are being treated correctly. I was referd to Suboxone because i couldn't find a pain management Doctor. I hate Suboxone and it doesn't help at all with my pain. So now I'm being labeled as a drug addict because I take Suboxone. And I'm not a drug addict. I live with pain everyday and it's hard to deal with. I wish I could find a really good doctor who understands my daily pain.

I was in Alexandria hospital for one night and day and don't remember him that much. When I was released, about 10 days later I received bill from his billing people that demanded payment within 30 days. In my 50 years of dealing with hospitals and doctors, they always waited until they received payment from my insurance company before billing me. Their company 'Sound Physicians" is not a customer friendly company. I would recommend he find another company to work with.
